Alright-
So here is a serious thread. (*******, maybe you should snoop elsewhere)
As most of you know, I have an '06 883L. I love her. BUT I love the VROD's. Now, before people starte telling me to look at other bike besides the VROD, let me tell you, it's the only other bike I feel 100% comfortable on. I love Rob's. When I ride his bike, I sometimes forget that I'm on a bike (in the safest way possible). The center of gravity is amazing, I feel so low to the ground..and so much "one" with the bike (quit laughing at me..I'm trying my best here).
I have sat on other bikes, felt other bikes...and I don't feel comfortable.
So here is my dilemma...in order to get a VROD, I have to give up the sporty. I can't afford both. Crap, I can barely afford one!
But here is where I am having some serious issue, and I need you guys to try and imagine this too...
The sporty is my first bike. I've done lots of things (mods) to make her my own. I'm attached. I can't FATHOM someone else having my bike, riding that bike, and not knowing what kind of care they are giving or not giving the bike. What stupid changes they are doing to it, and if they drop her, etc.
I talked to Rob about it last night, and I tried to put it into perspective of a way he would understand. Maybe this will work for some of your guys too, before you can offer advice. When I talk to him about trading my bike, he's always like..do it, get a VROD...but that's because he's not in the position. He can't imagine having another bike..not even thinking about having another one. So last night I said to him- Would you trade your 2006 VROD, all the time and mods you've done to it to make it your own...for a 2007?? And he said "heck no, that bike is MINE!" And that's how I feel.
I do know that once I get a VROD...I wouldn't ride the Sporty. I just know I wouldn't. So I know I need to sell her so I can move up in the bike world, but it is SERIOUSLY upsetting me just thinking about it.
I want a VROD and I know I can make a new bike my own too...but I love looking at that bike, I love seeing her in the garage...hmmm, this really makes me sad.
What do I do?
